Paul Krugman has at least three jobs: he is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University; Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics; and, perhaps his best-known job, an op-ed columnist for the New York Times. In recognition of his influence the Washington Monthly called him “the most important political columnist in America.”

自从Krugman独得诺奖之后,本地大学图书馆里这本书就被一人接一人紧着预约,受欢迎程度可见一斑。如同前人评论所说,一边读这本给自由主义者的指南针一边就会越来越‘热血沸腾’,不禁拍案痛斥共和党派的种种卑鄙行为,同时恨不得马上洗清自己之前曾经对民主党、左派的主意有过...
评分本书的一个要点就是搞清楚美国各总统的党派情况。以下是根据相关材料整理的内容,包括届数、姓名、任期、党派。 1 乔治·华盛顿(George Washington,1732年2月22日-1799年12月14日) 1789年-1797年 2 约翰·亚当斯(John Adams,1735年10月30日-1826年7月4日) 1797年-1...
评分克鲁格曼将此书的副标题叫做《一个自由主义者的良知》,让我们这些习惯了自由之保守概念者,颇感意外。 联想到美国新任总统奥巴马在就职演说中对政府的评价,“我们今天的问题不是政府太大或太小,而是有无功效,是否能帮助家庭找到薪水不错的工作,支付得起照顾费用,...
评分我是听Audiobook,听到1/4,远在FDR的New Deal之前,美国的财富分配体系已经开始极端化了,于是1929年大危机出现了。 FDR的应对方法就是增强social welfare来改善收入分配,而针对更加不平均的财富占有体系,对应的方法就是征收高额的遗产税。 可惜的是FDR的政策并没有很好的贯...

What has gone wrong with America? With The Conscience of a Liberal, best-selling author Paul Krugman points the way to a new New Deal.
America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past thirty years American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal's achievements - a movement whose founding manifesto was Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of a Conservative. That movement has been highly successful in turning the clock back: both the inequality of today's America and the corruption of its political life hark back to the age of the robber barons.
Now the tide may be turning - and in The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman, the world's most widely read economist and one of its most influential political commentators, charts the way to reform.
Krugman ranges over a century of history, from the political economy of the Gilded Age - which seems all too familiar these days - to the calamities of the Bush years, which he argues were inevitable once movement conservatives gained full control of the U.S. government. He shows that neither the middle-class America the baby boomers grew up in nor the increasingly oligarchic nation we have become over the past generation evolved naturally: both were created, to a large extent, by government policies guided by organized political movements. He explains how defenders of inequality have exploited cultural and racial divisions to their advantage, while reformers have found ways to bridge those divisions. And he argues that the time is ripe for another great era of reform.
Last but not least, The Conscience of a Liberal outlines a program for change. It shows how universal health care can be the centerpiece of a new New Deal, just as Social Security was the core of the original. It explains what can be done to narrow the wealth and income gap. And it shows how a new political coalition can both support and be supported by reform, making our society not just more equal but more democratic.
一个自由派角度的美国两党政治史叙述。作者的观点虽然比较一边倒,但是有着作为公共知识分子的良心。完全自由化的市场经济其实在世界任何一个国家都得不到实行,可是过度被政府控制的经济体系又会出现严重的利益分配不公正问题。总之,政治经济学,是需要用历史的眼光来研究的。
评分这本变态书真烦人!
评分good intro to the health care issue
